Part 1. What is FairPlay DRM
FairPlay is the Apple DRM and was initially used only in the iTunes store to protect AAC encoded audio files but got soon also adopted for Apple’s video products that are now part of the iTunes store.
Most of the controversy surrounding FairPlay is about Apple's refusal to license it, but not about the limitations it imposed - as far as DRM schemes go, FairPlay wasn't overly restrictive. However, since Apple doesn't license FairPlay to anyone, you can only play a protected file using the iTunes software or Apple's built-in apps. Also, the file can only be recognized and playable on an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, and devices that are authorized.
FairPlay limits you to:
• authorize up to five different computers to play FairPlay-protected files via iTunes or Apple's native app.
• burn a particular playlist containing a protected song up to seven times.
But FairPlay allows you to:
• burn a protected song to CD as many times as you want.

Since the FairPlay DRM is so annoying, many of you may want to get rid of it to play iTunes songs and movies freely. Now, I will show you different tools to remove FairPlay DRM from iTunes M4V movies, Apple Music songs, iTunes audiobooks, and iBooks.

1. FairPlay DRM Removal for iTunes M4V Videos
Many Apple fans have the habit to purchase or rent movies, TV shows, etc. from iTunes Store. After all, there are so many wonderful movies and TV series. But you can only play these iTunes videos in protected M4V format on your Apple devices or iTunes. You cannot play them on Android phones and tablets, let alone other common media players, such as Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player.
Worse, there are more limitations on iTunes rentals, which only give you 30 days from the time of rental and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it.
With a FairPlay DRM Removal for iTunes videos, you can bypass DRM with few clicks. Better yet, you can then keep all your rented movies forever and play them on any device you like.
